The New York Times reported in July that 100 oncologists called for allowing Medicare to negotiate prices with drug companies.

According to USA Today, Clinton's plan would also end tax breaks for drug companies' costs of consumer advertising, compel drug companies to invest taxpayer money in research, shorten the time that drug companies can exclusively produce medications (opening those drugs up to the generic market earlier) and allow Americans to buy prescription drugs from overseas, which many already do via the Internet.

During an appearance on CBS News' "Face The Nation" on Sept. 20, Clinton praised Obamacare and slammed Republicans who have tried to repeal it more than 50 times.
